Muchies // Ty & Lizzy

He wondered if the other girl was ready, though they both opted for different things. She went to the gym while he did Yoga and then for dance practice they were pushed into different lessons but that shouldn't inter much with today's plans. Normally everyone would eat at the building but he felt like going out for lunch and invited his friend along with him. There was nothing left to but wait for Lizzy to come out.

When he finally show her, he gave a smile and waved. "Hey, how was practice?"

rambling,

"Can I sit here?" It's the most basic thing he could ask anyone today but he doesn't wait for an answer, plopping down and making himself comfortable, tray already settled in front of him. The thought to bow to a sunbae was accidentally forgotten and when he glances up at her, he remembers, a wide grin preceding a bow of his head so low it almost touches his food; what a rookie mistake. “My name’s Rome. I got a few other names but I go by that one. Nice to meet you, uh, sunbae.” He disregards a formal introduction in lieu of calling her sunbae and it’s a new feeling to him overall. Attending school in Australia, meant a lack of the traditional Korean etiquette outside of his family and what small Korean community they had in the city. “There aren’t any rules for where we sit, are there? It’s been forever since breakfast and I feel like I’m starving so I’m ready to dig in.”

“What’s this?”

He hadn’t expected to stroll into his private voice lesson to find anyone who wasn’t his normal coach, the one he’d been working with for several weeks now, waiting for him. But there were two staff members in addition to the adult he was used to, along with a female trainee he hadn’t really spoken to in months. Lizzy, he recalled, bowing slightly and sending her a polite smile when he realized he had yet to greet her.

“Your eval wasn’t too bad. I think you were overthinking it, as usual, but it turned out better than you thought it would, didn’t it? Seeing you actually get emotional over something was a nice change.”

Ricky blinked, suppressing a frown and glancing at Lizzy, not sure how he felt about having this seemingly private conversation in front of another trainee, especially one he barely knew. 

“You’ll be recording with Sooyoung today. I want to see how you rap with another singer, especially a female one. Look less excited, I dare you.”

“Ah, no, it’s not that, I’m just--”

“Yes, I know. Here are your lyrics. Step inside when you’re ready.”

He did, staring down at the piece of paper in his hand, still visibly surprised. He wasn’t used to rapping in front of anyone like this, let alone rapping with anyone. He didn’t even think he was that good, why would they put him over a singer? What if he embarrassed himself in front of a fellow trainee, or anyone else in the room for that matter? Maybe this was Coach’s way of reminding him how to work well with others, which he hadn’t been doing much of lately, but even so, he could feel his nerves bending a little at the pressure of three extra pairs of prying eyes.

He glanced at Lizzy standing next to him in the recording booth and sent her an awkward attempt at another polite smile, “Noona,” he greeted, ducking his head to slip his headphones on, “Please take care of me.”
